    CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM NONLOCALITY
    Proceedings of the International School of Cosmology and Gravitation XVI Course
    Erice, Italy, 27 April – 4 May 1999

    edited by P G Bergmann (New York University) , V de Sabbata (University of Bologna) , & J N Goldberg (Syracuse University)

    This book provides an up-to-date understanding of the progress and current problems of the interplay of nonlocality in the classical theories of gravitation and quantum theory. These problems lie on the border between general relativity and quantum physics, including quantum gravity.
